This homemade kitchen cleaner can work wonders on old pots and pans or perhaps newer ones that has been burned with food. The real-life pot that is shown below had thick layers of burnt food stuck to the bottom of the pot. It was so burnt; I was thinking it needed to be placed in the garbage. But, to my surprise, this homemade pot and pan cleaner did the trick.

Ingredients

This homemade pot and pan cleaner can be prepared with a combination of (1) baking soda, (2) distilled vinegar, and ultimately (3) liquid dishwashing detergent.

1. Baking Soda

The baking soda is used to create a mild chemical reaction with the vinegar. You simply sprinkle some of it inside the pot or pan in the area of interest. Baking soda is also mildly abrasive. Therefore, once you get to step 3, you can add a small amount of baking soda with the dishwashing soap to help with the final step of cleaning your pot or pan.

2. Vinegar

Distilled vinegar is a popular mild acid that can be used around the home in a variety of ways. In most cases, it is not used to create a chemical reaction with one exception being when used as a DIY laundry detergent booster. The homemade pot and pan cleaner are another exception. It is used to intentionally create a mild chemical reaction with the baking soda. When you add the vinegar to the pot or pan that has baking soda in it, it will foam and break up the burnt food that is stuck to the pot. Afterwards, you can wear gloves to scrub the pot with a good scrubber. Or use a brush with a long handle to scrub the pot clean. Repeat step 1 and step 2 as needed before going to step 3.

3. Dishwashing Detergent

Once you have used the homemade pot and pan cleaner, you can discard the used baking soda and vinegar. Then, you can finish cleaning the pot with liquid dawn dish soap and water or liquid dawn dish soap, baking soda, and water.
